Habs trade PK Subban to Predators for Shea Weber

Here's a telling quote from Scott that should give Habs fans pause. It's far more significant than anything he said about PK.

From Hockey Inside/Out:

"Scott also said in the TSN Radio 690 interview that he sensed a problem in the Canadiens locker room during his very short stint with the club and from talking with other players, saying it was “really dysfunctinal”, “quiet” and it “wasn’t a fun place to play hockey.”

The guy played 1 game for the Habs, in an absolutely meaningless tilt in game 82 of the season where they were miles away from the playoffs.

Yeah, it probably wasn't the funnest lockerroom in the world. At that point most of the guys wanted to get home and forget that disaster of a season.
 
I don't think much changed this past season, at least not until Therrien was fired. And I don't think that Julien is a cure-all for what ails this team. Pacioretty doesn't have the room's full attention or respect.

None of us have any idea what the room was this season.

Are any of the players talking about it in the way Scott did?

If not its just baseless speculation. And even if they do talk, its grain of salt time as long as they are still in the league and don't want to piss people off.

He was in the room for what two days at the end of a brutal season. Did he expect it to be a happy place?

The day I start to listen to what a guy who barely had time for a croissant and café au lait with us is the day I stop being a fan.

Yeah, that's what most hockey players snack on, especially goons . . . although George Parros did go to Princeton U. so I guess it's possible.
 
Perhaps John Scott is a nobody trying to milk whatever "fame" he's got. Going negative is the only way he can get someone to turn his mic on.

If you guys can't see that, I don't know what to tell ya.
 
Can I just say that interview was done about two years ago and it wasn’t in context with anything P.K. is doing right now,” he said. “They stored that away and just dug that out now … It got taken a little out of context because that interview happened quite a long time ago.”
Scott said the interview brought him plenty of negative reaction on Twitter and noted that since conducting it, he's built a relationship with Subban.
“He’s such a cool guy," said Scott. "I like the guy and consider him a friend. To have that come out now is a shame.”

“You need a couple guys like that on the team," Scott continued. "If every guy was like that I think it would be embarrassing. I wouldn’t watch the game. But he mixes it up a little bit, he has some fun with the game. I think that’s needed in this age now, where everyone’s vanilla.” LOL

It was a horrible year, I'm sure the Sabres, Avs or Coyotes rooms werent pleasant this year also.
 
I keep saying this about two decades.

Because English fans don't have a inferiority complex. Their identity isn't threatened when they have a Italian coach.

Quebec and it's small minded under siege French is disappearing nonsense cannot accept a English coach.

I'm pretty sure French habs fans would rather lose with a French coach than win but have the habs become a little bit more English.

I still don't think the fans care very much, especially the younger ones. It feels it's been created in big parts by the media, mostly because many of them don't speak English well.
